Half of the American folks who can be arsed to vote want him to rule the country forever.
That's how it works.
That still doesn’t explain who is supposed to reimburse him.
The people he was forced to pay for goods and services, he meant to stiff them
This is the dingus that brought us "Mexico will pay for the wall", after all.
We'll think about it as soon as you reimburse all the donors who have been paying your legal bills.
Trump unveiled the realities of the wasted money and resources the Trump team now has to deal with. "Now we have to start all over again. Shouldn't the Republican Party be reimbursed for fraud in that everybody around Joe"
Can we all please take a moment to seriously reflect on this?
Irrespective of party, campaigning should not primarily be about attacking your rival. It should be about what you intend to do and what you have done to benefit your constituents. Your policies and successful legislation should be what you spend your money on promoting. It should be about the vision you have for this country outside the context of who comes before or after you in office.
This is, in part, why so many people are resentful of elections - they're 100% full of negativity. Give us some hope. Give us some tangible examples of what's been accomplished. Keep the name of your opposition out of your speeches. Reflect on existing policy you want to change, why you feel it needs to change, and how you intend on changing it. Give us some vision of the future for us to unite around and get excited for.
You have mistakenly assumed that the GOP wants or cares about democracy.
Ok, you and me. We're going to start our own country. One where political competition doesn't hate and belittle the other. One where the loser of the election graciously bows out knowing their country will be stronger for it.
I'm running my campaign on the development of medical research, and the fighting of AI influence.
Also bacon. Just.....just bacon.
The problem is it’s effective. Unless you design a system where the most effective strategy for winning a position isn’t making people afraid of the alternative, it’s just going to come back
It didn't used to be this way... I still remember when John McCain shut down a woman spouting lies about Obama, and defended him as a good man. This obstructionism and negativity originated in Congress. It's easy to point fingers at presidential negativity, because Trump is leading the charge now, but it was Newt Gingrich, Mitch McConnell and Co that opened the door for him.
Newt, Rush, and Roger Ailes damaged this country so much.
I really hope someone revokes that shitty medal Limbaugh got. I dont care if hes dead.
Also bacon. Just.....just bacon.
Can we have dogs too, as long as I promise they won't eat all the bacon?
........you mean as pets, right? Not as lunch....right? RIGHT???
FUCK YOU! YOU AND YOUR CUR CAN ROT IN HELL.
just bacon
You sir/madam have just earned my vote. Where do I register?
I'm in. But it boils down to 1-person-1-vote and every adult citizen is automatically registered.
And maybe this will be adopted as a new strategy to combat these long drawn out campaigns and negative ads. Change the presumptive candidate at the last moment possible.
I didn't want Joe to drop out. But I always saw this as the one big benefit to such a late change - until the GOP/Russian trolls get their talking points straight, regular people once again own social media discussions. And we are absolutely making use of it.
Trump: "LOL you're too old for the job!"
Biden: "OK, I leave."
Trump: "No wait! How am I supposed to win now?"
I hope he survives his aneurysm to enjoy his time in a supermax after a black woman grabs him by the pussy.
When you're a convicted felon you squat and cough first.
Wouldn't she grab him by the bussy?
Ew. Imaging the stench.
Bussy
Is he mad that the race has now been reframed as Former Prosecutor and Current Vice President Kamala Harris vs 34 Time Convicted Felon Donald Trump? Aww. Poor baby. I hope his fucking muppet grin from the debate has been fully wiped off now.
He sure is fragile for a strong man. But I guess that's how it goes. Doth protest too much and all that.
Good. I bet he's also so GRR MAD that it is not himself at the center of attention - other than people saying how old he is and calling him Dementia Donnie, and saying he should probably bow out because he's obviously been pooping into diapers for a decade or so, etc...
Drowsy Demented Donnie
Damp Diaper Donnie
Hahahahaha. You love to see it.
Dementia Donald having trouble? Who would have guessed.
GOOD GODS ABOVE AND BELOW I FUCKING LOVE WATCHING THESE CHUD FASCIST SIMP SCUM SQUIRM 💜
